The Good

Utopia is spectacular there is nothing to me like it for families couples who are coming to Orlando they have to step on board that ship it will really enhance their Orlando holiday experience

CasualTravel Weekly

CasualTravel Weekly
The Watch-outs

CasualTravel Weekly

we are treated with such disregard yet you know shaps came out this morning all smiley about his report and you know this was great it was you know as my grandfather used to say it's like giving a donkey one oat

CasualTravel Weekly

we deserve better stronger and more concise leadership

CasualTravel Weekly

it really gives them no lifeline at all and and it really and i actually it felt like all hope was lost

CasualTravel Weekly

this new scheme that we're all supposed to be grateful for that the guys are right it doesn't involve us it doesn't help us it just writes us off

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Travel Weekly.

  1. Agents should use short breaks or event voyages to introduce newcomers to Cunard

  2. Promote the Liverpool celebration in May 2028 as a unique selling point

  3. Ask customers about their deal breakers to identify their priorities.

  4. Compare cruise value against land holidays by breaking down costs per night.

  5. Use overnights in ports as free city breaks to highlight value.

  6. Start with the 'All Included' package to cover drinks and Wi-Fi.

  7. Agents should look for river cruise guests and land-based guests who spend more on holidays to introduce to Azamara.

  8. Travel partners should leverage the new UK office and contact center for faster support.
